Please submit a current resume and a statement of interest (covering relevant experience and
reasons for interest in the competition) to Dean Len Fromm.

Jessup Competition Deadline Today

Applications for the 2009 Jessup International Law Moot Court competition are due today. All
students are welcome to apply. Both previous moot court experience and relevant course work
will be considered, but neither is required. Priority will be given to upperclass students. Please
submit a current resume and a statement of interest (covering relevant experience and reasons for
interest in the competition) to Dean Len Fromm.

Originally named the "International Law Moot," the Jessup competition held its first
round at Harvard University on May 3, 1959. In the subsequent years, the Jessup competition has
risen to the pre-eminent position of being the largest and most prestigious international law moot
court competition in the world. Today, approximately 1,500 students from more than 300 law
schools in almost 50 nations participate in the competition.

Participants first compete in regional and national competitions in their respective
countries. Winners from these competitions advance to the international rounds, which have been
held, historically, in Washington, D.C.

This year's team will consist of four students and will be coached by Professor Christiana
Ochoa. During the fall semester, team members will produce a written memorial (analogous to a
brief); oral arguments will take place during the spring semester. For more details on the Jessup
competition, see www.ilsa.org.

Indiana Court of Appeals Oral Argument: Sept. 29

The Indiana Court of Appeals will hear oral arguments in Mishler v. State at 6 p.m. on Monday,
Sept. 29, in the Moot Court Room. Appellant-defendant Paul L. Mishler appeals his convictions
on two counts of Child Molesting, a class A felony, claiming that the trial court erred in
admitting the child victim's pretrial statements and videotaped interview into evidence at trial.
Mishler contends that the statements and interview failed to satisfy the admissibility
requirements of Indiana Code section 35-37-4-6, the "Protected Person Statute," and that the
admission of the victim's statements violated his right to confront witnesses testifying against
him. Mishler also argues that the evidence was insufficient to support the convictions and that the
50-year aggregate sentence was inappropriate in light of the nature of the offenses and his
character.

Amendment: the Illusory Protections of =91Academic Freedom=92=94 at 4 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 16, in
the Moot Court Room. His talk will focus on a number of recent court cases that threaten to
erode the free speech rights of public university faculty, placing the cases in the context of a
more general argument: that those of us who are or have been denizens of academia tend to
assume the law gives more special protection to our work than it actually does. He will be
introduced by former Vice President for Academic Affairs and Bloomington Chancellor Ken
Gros Louis.

On September 16, 2008, Professor Joe Hoffmann will receive the 2008 Judicial Excellence in
Education Award for Outstanding Non-Judicial Faculty from the Texas Center for the Judiciary.
